15:51 Listen,
I will
tell you a
mystery: We will
not all sleep,
but we will
all be
changed—
52 in a
moment,
in the
blinking of an
eye,
at the
last trumpet.
For the
trumpet will
sound,
and the
dead will be
raised imperishable,
and we will be
changed.
53 For this perishable body must
put on the
imperishable,
and this mortal body must
put on immortality.
54 Now when this perishable puts on the
imperishable, and
this mortal puts on immortality,
then the
saying that is
written will happen,
“Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! 58 So then, dear brothers and sisters, be firm. Do not be moved! Always be outstanding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
